Back to school and 15 miles per hour
Aug28
I passed a friend today whose wife is a schoolteacher. “Is this her first day?” I asked. “Yep,” he replied rolling his eyes, “and it’s going to be a long night.” “She has stories already, huh?” He laughed and nodded, walking on.
Yes, today is the day dreaded by just about everyone except the parents of the midget miscreants. Busses full of children with enough sugar in their system to kill a horse clog roadways as impatient drivers try to make it to work without running over someone.
A new role for Marty Wright
Aug24
We met in my office in the capitol, shook hands and exchanged obligatory pleasantries. He sat down and said with a tone of exasperation frequent to most visitors to the capitol, “Man, I don’t know where I am in this building. I’m trying to count windows, but that isn’t working.”
Thus began my friendship with Marty Wright, the new legal counsel to the Senate Republicans.
Senator John Unger gets an “F” in math
Aug21
Senator John Unger (D-Berkeley) should be one of the trustworthiest people in the Senate. After all, he was assistant missionary to Mother Teresa and a Rhodes scholar. But not only is he under investigation for allegedly bribing poll workers, he is having difficulty with simple arithmetic.
Jim Lewis and his Patriots for Palestine
Aug10
They say you should not write while angry. It has been several days since I read a recently published article by Jim Lewis comparing 9/11 victims to communist Fidel Castro and Israel to Nazi Germany. Needless to say, my anger has not yet abated.
You may wonder about the Patriots for Peace as they proudly jeer and curse behind a banner of the names of the brave soldiers killed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who are these people and what do they stand for? The article published by their liberal gang leader, Jim Lewis, tells you all you need know.
Joe Manchin’s poster
Aug7
Recent renovations to the Governor’s office (yes, the mansion isn’t the only place getting the royal treatment) uncovered a curious poster. I received this picture of a large poster tucked behind boxes in the hallway of the east wing.
Random thoughts for the week
Aug5
“Random thoughts” is where I loosen up a little bit and discuss some of the less serious things of the week.
This article covers the new West Virginia blogs popping up, Senator Sprouse’s blog, and the Patriots for Peace.
I haven’t done the random thoughts for the week in a coon’s age. Hold on, it’s going to be a long post. BTW, exactly how long is a coon’s age? I’m guessing 12 years.
Announcing Fire At Will
Aug3
Ever since I began this website, there has been controversy. I have been cussed out, threatened, cajoled, harassed, and smeared in public and private. Never one to take subtle hints, I have started a new way to expound on conservative issues and make liberals gnash their teeth through a show called “Fire At Will.”
